Watercolour: Alien Probes

What captivated me about these little purple flowers is their elegant, almost mechanical, symmetry. As I boosted the scale up considerably, tiny grass blades now look like long bamboo shoots, swishing across the whole visual field.

I wanted to express the lively interplay of the flowers and the grass, of the light and shadows.

Please note that gray lines in the middle of the painting are not defect, they are a copyright watermark stamp.
